Who's running for president? We'll talk about that in just a minute. I want to start off with today, the 17th anniversary of September 11th 2001. Just that day alone, one of the most tragic days in our country. 3,000 people passing away as a direct result of the attacks. Today it’s important to think of the 16,000 responders to the World Trade Center who were there that day who performed rescue, recovery, debris clean up all of that stuff. And there are people who helped out that day who are still suffering health issues because of that event.
